Method and system for measurement of students', teachers' and educational institutions' performance

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and system for measurement of students' improvement, more particularly the method and system aims at devising a methodology for measurement of improvement as percentage of the improvement achieved to scope of maximum improvement possible in previous performance of a particular student. The invention also relates to a method and system for measurement of teachers and educational institutions' performance, more particularly the method and system aims at devising a methodology for measurement of performance based on percentage of the average improvement achieved to scope of maximum improvement possible in previous performance of a relevant group of students.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A method and system for measurement of:
 (A) Students' improvement comprises-steps of:   a) Storing and recording the marks obtained by the a student in the previous examination;   b) calculating the maximum improvement possible (difference between maximum marks that is 100 percent less the marks obtained by the student in the previous examination) (say“b”)   ) Storing and recording the marks in the current examination of the student;   d) calculating the difference between the current examination and the previous examination marks of a student (say“d”)   e) Calculating the percentage of change of the marks of the student to the scope of maximum improvement possible for the student (“d”/“b”×100);   Whereas the above system may also be used to measure improvement in a particular subject or a group of subjects.   (B) Teachers' performance comprises steps of:   a) Storing and recording average marks obtained by the relevant group of students in the previous examination;   b) calculating the maximum improvement possible in the group (difference between maximum marks that is 100 percent less the average marks obtained by the group of students in the previous examination) (say“b”)   c) Storing and recording the average marks in the current examination of the group of students;   d) calculating the difference between averages of the current examination and the previous examination marks of a group of students (say“d”)   e) Calculating the percentage of change of the average marks of the group of students to the scope of maximum improvement possible for the group of students. (“d”/“b”×100)   Whereas the above steps may be followed to measure performance of a teacher subject wise and also between or amongst the teachers irrespective of the subject taught by them and whereas this system may be applied to measure performance of a teacher on a year on year basis or between or amongst the teachers on a year on year basis.   (C) Educational institutions' performance comprises steps of:   a) Storing and recording average aggregate marks obtained by the students of a particular educational institution in the previous examination;   b) calculating the maximum improvement possible for the students of the educational institution in the group (difference between maximum marks that is 100 percent less the average aggregate marks obtained by the students of the educational institution in the previous examination) (say“b”)   c) Storing and recording the average aggregate marks in the current examination of the students of the educational institution;   d) calculating the difference between averages of the current examination and the previous examination aggregate marks of the students of the educational institution (say“d”)   e) Calculating the percentage of change of the average aggregate marks of the students of the educational institution to the scope of maximum improvement possible for the students of the educational institution. (“d”/“b”×100)   Whereas this system may be applied to measure performance of an educational institution on a year on year basis or between or amongst the educational institutions on a year on year basis and whereas this methodology may also be used to measure deterioration of performance of one or more students or teachers or institutions.
